"If you don't dare to send me off, please stay here."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chen walks slowly."

After Shen Feng left, Run Run Shaw felt a little upset. He slowly paced in the spacious living room of the villa, thinking while digesting food.

Most elderly people like quietness but not movement. The most annoying thing is change and tossing.

A year ago, when Chen Chong was still not a famous writer, he came to interview him and he said that he hated independent producers, which broke the rules, disrupted the market, and made it difficult to do business.

A year later, looking back, those independent filmmakers are just tinea scabies. Their funds are limited and they cannot become a climate. They are like cicadas in summer, annoying, but they cannot move the foundation of Shaw's big tree. However, the sunken oriental charm is like a strong typhoon. In a short time, Shaw's carefully created and maintained the large studio system for more than 20 years.

Shaw's business philosophy emphasizes small profits but quick turnover, reduces manufacturing costs as much as possible, and wins by quantity. This business model is probably the mainstream of traditional Chinese business. Not only Shaw, but in the following decades, most Chinese companies have followed this idea, thus creating the reputation of "world factory".

To reduce manufacturing costs, of course, the first thing to do is to reduce salary. Shaw Brothers' actors and behind-the-scenes employees are famous in Hong Kong. Cheng Peipei once said that she went out as little as possible at Shaw Brothers, because the company stipulated that she had to wear clothes when she went out and was not allowed to take the bus. With her salary of several hundred yuan at that time, she could not afford the expenses at all, so she had to hide in the dormitory every day. The martial arts queen who was popular all over the Hong Kong River was so embarrassed that Shaw Brothers' pay was low.

After the Hong Kong stock market crash in 1973, Fang Yihua was in full power and fully exerted his stinginess. Some people said that Shaw Brothers' style is that after any budget is reported, half of it will be cut as usual. There was a joke that Li Hanxiang had to shoot a movie and ten children were blowing soap bubbles. So he reported to buy ten bamboo tubes, but only five were approved. Yu Qian was so angry that he even gave up the whole movie, saying that Shaw Brothers saved money and time...

Those independent producers offered high prices to poach a few Shaw Brothers talents, but they had a weak foundation and couldn't hold on for a long time. As long as there was a movie that had a bad box office, they would be over, and then the talents who left would come back obediently.

But the Eastern charm is different because its boss Chen Chong is rich. Although Run Run Shaw is confident that he has accumulated wealth for fifty or sixty years, it is definitely more than Chen Chong who has made his fortune in just one and a half years, movies are just movies after all. After all, the funds have reached a certain level, and the money is the same as the same - Zou Wenhuai is an example. If Shaw Brothers adds all the assets of Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, it is ten times that of Jiahe. However, in the current film market, Jiahe is fighting against Shaw Brothers.

Chen Chong is famous for his luxury and generosity. Anyone who works for him does not treat him unfairly. For example, last year's "Crazy Job" broke the box office record. All the staff who had left names on the crew's autograph, and even the cleaners who helped clean up the garbage at the filming site, received hundreds of red envelopes.

"Crazy Job" can be said to be a special move by him who just debuted and spent money to buy a good reputation. However, all of his subsequent actions showed that he did not care about the current industry rules of the Hong Kong film industry. Wang Jing's "Chasing Girls" sold well at the box office. In addition to the initial salary on the contract, he received a dividend of 100,000. You must know that even Chu Yuan could not get a box office dividend. What qualifications are the young man like Wang Jing who is a fledgling boy?

There is also Huang Yuetai, an ordinary employee who has been in the industry for three or four years at Shaw Brothers. He has a salary of several thousand yuan a month and has been borrowed by Shen Chong. He made an experimental movie that has not been released so far. In less than twenty days, he received a reward of 50,000 yuan. Not only that, Shen Chong also stuffed him into the Academy Awards jury, which is full of big names, and has become the youngest and youngest judge in the jury. He became famous in one fell swoop. At a young age, he was regarded as the number one photographer in Hong Kong. He gained profits and became famous. Such a situation made all Shaw Brothers employees jealous.

The same is true for "Die Hard", which is so popular now that the box office is so popular. Although it was co-starred with Jiahe, Chen Chong also borrowed some behind-the-scenes employees from Shaw, each employee received three times the salary of Shaw. This made Run Run Shaw frightened.

Every time Chen Chong came to borrow someone, he was kind and sent back after borrowing it. He never said he wanted to poach people, but every time, he gained a good reputation. He was obviously looking forward to this. If the time was right one day, he raised his arms and shouted, Shaw Brothers would have to leave the building empty...

"Young people are young people, and they don't know how to cherish them at all. They can go in with their left hand and go out with their right hand.

When Run Run Shaw thought of this, he shook his head and felt whispering in his heart, but he still complained in his heart. Chen Chong, who treated money like dirt, could not think of how to deal with it for a while.

In addition to movies, TV also gave Run Run Shaw a headache.

The sunken Jiayi TV station is only playing movies for less than a month. In the prime time of the evening, it has already sat on two and one, overwhelmingly, occupying the second highest rating. Although the highest is only about 14%, according to public information, after the movie station, there are more TV channels to come out, and the bulls are moving forward together, and they are full of momentum.

Besides, I was so angry tonight that I was just talking about the legislation on the Hong Kong film rating system and the impact of the reform of mainland film distribution and screening on Hong Kong films. There was no saying that he was interested in H, nor did he say that he was not interested in H.

In the 1960s, Shaw Brothers' cost per movie was only a few hundred thousand,000, and its annual profit exceeded ten million US dollars. In recent years, production costs have become increasingly high, but profits have declined. On the contrary, TV is the opposite. Every year's profits are rising and it is moving forward brightly. In Run Run Shaw's mind, the weight of movies and TV has changed from 55 to 37.

However, he and Li Xiaohe have been old friends for decades. At that time, Li Xiaohe not only divided the shares to him and asked him to join the board of directors, but also entrusted full rights to daily operations. As long as he is still alive, Run Run Shaw is not easy to make an HR anyway. Therefore, over the years, he has always controlled his shares not more than Li Jia. Li Jia is H's largest private shareholder, holding a total of 380,000 shares, so Run Run Shaw holds 10,000 shares to avoid suspicion.

But the act of avoiding suspicion back then has now become a hidden danger. H is not a listed company, and shareholders transfer stocks are not publicly disclosed. Run Run Shaw is not sure that he can buy stocks from HSBC or Hutchison Whampoa.

He was thinking, and the housekeeper came over with a plate and reminded: "Master, it's time to drink health soup.

Run Run Shaw nodded. He took the teacup, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Chen came here today, and it seemed like he had brought a gift?"

"Yes." The housekeeper replied: "I put it in the study, it seems to be a book."

"Take it and see it."

The gift was brought soon. When I opened it, I saw it, it was not a book, but a roster - "19RU Hong Kong Film and Culture Center Spring Training Class Student List".

Run Run Shaw picked it up, flipped it over, and then thought to himself.
